These WTB threads seem to be going well for a few other folks, so I thought I'd press my luck.

edit: 2 years on, this thread has worked really well so now most of the fighters I’m looking for are basically unobtainable for love or money. But hey, one has to dream right?

It’s also a nice way for me to keep some notes on games I've recently learned about, but just want to explore in MAME a little bit before deciding to purchase. Anyway if you have any of these, or leads on 'em, fire away! Also share if you know any similar titles I should check out. My sig has my game collection so please check it before sending a recommendation, or if you are looking to trade.

Fighters I'll never find:
Primal Rage 2
격투 (Gyeoktu) / Best of Best - SunA
デッドリースポード Deadly Sport (Spode?) / Street Brawl - probably on ssv by Sammy
Shadow Fighters (Dutech)
Biofreaks (full version, not in mame yet)
Tattoo Assassins
Vicious Circle
Burning Street - Tecmo
Bash - Oriental Soft
Some parts for a busted Fighting Bujutsu :( and/or a working Konami Cobra boardset like Racing Jam DX

Not Fighters that I should be able to find:
Arkanoid original, clean w/adapter
Aka & Blue exa arcadia
Single-layer-pcb Area 51
Suggest a fighter, beat'em-up or shmup! Open to trade ideas and also stuff suitable for small kids.

Don’t know why but I want it:
Burning Striker - Eolith

Misc:
Gauntlet Legend / midway/Atari Vegas metal cage
Any blast city tubes that are in good shape and near new england ;(

Found:
Quite a good many; you all rock! Highlights: Jackie Chan, Rabbit, Metamoqester, Battle Tryst, Batsugun, Fighting Bujutsu, Fearless Pinocchio, Dragon Master (UNiCO), Silkroad2, Fighting Vipers 2, ddp, batrider, broken Konami cobras…

I like your style :D Some of these are on my wanted list as well.

Supposedly Tattoo Assassins runs on Data East Hardware... I wonder if a conversion is possible.
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers/deco32.cpp

Reading the comments it sounds like there's a special graphics chip thats only shared with "Dragon Gun".

Oh man. You know what's more fun than breaking into GG? Converting a Fighter's History into a Tattoo Assassins! I think it's worthy of an Arcade Project!! I'd love for some of our big guns to weigh in on the feasibility... it doesn't look like it has any encryption to break, but this sure is odd:


Code: 
/*
		    The Tattoo Assassins eprom seems strange...  It's 1024 bytes in size, and 8 bit
		    in width, but offers a 'multiple read' mode where a bit stream can be read
		    starting at any byte boundary.
also what's on your list too? I didn't see any overlap on your WTB thread here, but we should not bid against each other if something shows up!

Dragoon Might is the only one that's technically on my WTB list, but I also keep an eye out for Street Fighter The Movie, ZN2 stuff, and the older Psychic Force games.

Ehrgeiz was on my list until I sourced one

And here is a nice clean working one;

thanks! nabbed that one!

I'll keep an eye on the other one, though it won't show up in my listings (maybe international settings from the seller...). It's certainly missing a cap on the PS1/CPU board.
 
Take a look at Survival Arts - anoter obscure fighter - I do not remember, but it seems to me that I have this pcb somewhere deep in boxes...

Already got one, but that's the kind of game I'm always hunting for!
 
I've seen a Knuckle Heads once IRL at a small boardwalk arcade in Lake George NY.
It wasn't a bad little fighter, kinda like a royal rumble type affair.

Never seen one since however, still it's prob a easier find than a Primal Rage 2.

Same guy also sells other stuff like 'Fighter's Impact' which looks like a pretty weird fighter as well ;)
 
Fighters Impact was ported to the CF card G-Net setup So chances are Ekorz already has it ;)

Yes though this reminds me I need some more CF cards, I don't think I have this game on any of them. Too many good shmups on the gnet... @PascalP thanks for pointing it out!

Bump. Found a few more yay! Also I bought a Golden Tee 3d since it was cheap and the motherboard is the same for Street Fighter the Movie. SFTM needs a different sound board, and uses a rom board that has big 32mb flash chips on it, so no conversion possible I don't think. But hey, cheap backup mobo.
 
bump, updated. Sadly I'm not convinced these show up for sale anymore:

Metamoqester / Oni: The Ninja Master (Banpresto)
Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire
Rabbit

Also added Batsugun, but I don't really wanna buy it from that dude on YAJ. Also I feel like if I had a working Street Fighter The Movie I could figure out why mine is currently not working, so I'd pick up that too. Even just a known-working rom board.

Well if you do find a sftm and you fix yours from it I could be convinced to take the second off your hands.
